Framing continues on the Bauer residence in Hickory Hills. Main floor walls are complete, and the floor joists are on for the storage room over the garage. The framers have started building the roof and even have several of the dormers in!!! While the main floor system and first floor walls went in quickly, now things seem to slow down while the rafters go up. The loop field for the geothermal heating and cooling system is now completed and the lines have been run to the house - there is no evidence outside that there are 10 200ft deep wells in the front yard. We lost a few days last week with the snow, ice and blustery weather, but things are looking up this week - 40's and 50's all week long. We received a semi-truck load of antique 12x12 beams last week to be used in the roof system, front porch area and port-e-cochere. These are very nice, very rustic-looking beams - now it is time to cut them to size, then the sanding and beautification to bring them back to their original glory.
